Tag: Rereads

I recently watched The Rebel in the Rye and after watching that film, it made me really want to reread The Catcher In The Rye, written by the one and only J.D. Salinger. Watching this film opened my eyes to the author and his life and how he came about and wrote this book. It made me want to reread and see if I could notice certain things, knowing what I didn’t know the first time I read the book.

Rereading this book for the second time around was a lot better for me, than the first time. I got to understand Holden better this time around and I got to take in a lot more as well. I got to pick out things that I missed, or I got to understand certain things a lot better than I did the first time I read this book, as I was a lot younger a d wasn’t as mature. I hadn’t had my own experiences in life, good or bad, and emotionally, which is a key factor with this book to possibly understanding the main character, which is why I think I got something completely different out of this book this time around. You get to see glimpses into what he’s thinking, and how he was feeling. I don’t think I misunderstood him rereading it or thought of him as miserable. He came across as lost with some teenage angst thrown in. Not understanding where you fit in in this world and where your future is going. Not understanding himself maybe.

The story is about this boy named Holden, who gets kicked out of yet another school. This is his story, told in his words; from why he starts the story where he does and includes what he includes. I don’t want to give too much away about what happens, because then you can be surprised and enjoyed the story for yourselves, without any spoilers.

This is a book that I do highly recommend to everybody, as it is a must read. It can be and get a little repetitive at times, but it’s still a very good read.
